You’re running very rich! That means you have more fuel mixture in the combustion then required, if you wont resolve it the new plugs will look the same
@@jeffreydopson1552 bad valve cover gasket or loose spark plug. I always use a torque wrench and the right anti-seize for the engine type. anti-seize will reduce the torque you should use by about 20%. So, without anti-seize, you're looking at about: 27 Nm or 20 ft-lb for Gen 1 MINIs and 23 +3 Nm or 17+2 ft-lb for Gen 2 MINIs. With anti-seize, I'd suggest 16 ft-lbs and 14 ft-lbs respectively should be right. Also, only about 1 or 2 "lines" of antiseize down one side of the threads. It will spread around as you turn the them into place. I used to coat the threads in antiseize and that was just too much.
OMG! Your the first video that shows that trick! The coils on my R56 are a bear! I'm trying that! Thank you!

When do you know you need to change it,
When it is running really rough and misfiring, this is one of the possible fixes. (not the only one, but one of them)
